Based on the 2017 Rogue SV with the sun and sound touring package, 5,400 of these models will be produced for the US and Canada. The color choices are Magnetic Black and Glacier White, because you always have to make a choice between the light and the dark side. They will be offered in both front- and all-wheel drive.

The aesthetic tweaks on the outside can be found on the D-pillars, rear bumper protectors, and on the front doors.
